Is there any way to open / migrate to an earlier version?

Correct answer Cedric Marchessoux

This is not possible once you project saved with a newer version, it is most likely that you wont be able to open it with the previous version.

While there i'm unaware of a way to migrate a file to an earlier version, You can set your version of Painter back to an earlier one in 2025 Adobe Creative Cloud.  Naviagte to the apps sections, and then click on the three dots next to painter.  Select "other versions" and then rollback as needed.
